Mason Mount is said to be 'very likely' to leave Chelsea this summer, after the midfielder reportedly hiring a new agent.
Mount, 24, is about to enter the final 12 months of his deal at Stamford Bridge, and it seems that he will not be agreeing a new contract with the Blues.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, it is now "very likely that [Mount] will leave Chelsea in July".

The claim comes after Mount appointed Neil Fewings as his new agent – as initially reported by Mail Online on Friday.
That development has been taken by some as a sure sign that the England international will be on his way out of Stamford Bridge during the next transfer window.
It has been reported that Chelsea would demand £50m for their academy product, a key member of the Blues' 2020/21 Champions League-winning team.
